CHRISTMAS IN JULY

What I received in my email tonight made me feel like a child on Christmas Day!

Feast.your.eyes...

My heart is SO full!  

I don't know how to describe how I feel when I look at her;  

I am just so honored that I get to be her forever mommy!  

Lord, help the time pass quickly to going to get her...For me AND her!

I'll be staring at these pictures for days...

and days....

and months....

and days....

One Year Ago

Last year at this time, Scotty & I were in the air flying from Beijing to Kunming China to get our precious little one.

Our family is so blessed to have Maddox!

It seems as though he's always been here!

 Wow! Just the first year of forever my little man! We thank God for you everyday!

The first of 3 little letters

Three letters that mean the show's on the road!

This means that all of our paperwork is off to Ch*na!

Now....

We wait for our LOA or Letter of Approval....

C'mon, now!! So.freakin'.excited!!!

I think I'll celebrate with a diet ;)

My Shanghai Sweetie

Look at my most beautiful, precious little girl; waiting for us in Shanghai! We are working our tails off to get over there and get her home. 

Selling T-Shirts and this and that and even signing up to work for an amazing company that has helped so many ppl bring home their little ones.

When you wonder, "Why in the world is Nisa Brooke blowing up our newsfeed with 'Hey! Buy this! and Hey! I'm selling that!'" Just look at her face...Look into her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and it will all make sense...And maybe a little less annoying ;)

NEW PICS & UPDATE

I just received these new pics of our little Ann-Jolie! 

I.am.SO.excited!!

They call her Si Si, and even though we are naming her Ann-Jolie, if she wants to continue to be called Si Si, that's what we'll do.

I also found out she is HAPPY about having a family :) YAY!!!

I'm so glad they're not shaving her hair! I hope they continue to let it grow (fingers crossed) C'mon guys! It's just a few more months! 

Obviously whoever does the hair trimming does not care about straight lines. ;) That's ok...When she's home, that'll all change.

One more thing...If you're wondering about the cake...

We sent a cake to the orphanage when we got Pre-Approval to adopt her...Apparently they treated it as some sort of bday cake...She's going to turn 7 in October...Go figure...Whatever, as long as she enjoyed the cake and was happy!!

T-SHIRTS!!

Friends & Family,

Our iPad 4 giveaway was a success! 

Huge thanks to all of you who donated! We are so grateful!

Now we are selling T-shirts...Cool.T-shirts ;)

Obviously, all proceeds go towards bringing our little angel home :)

ISN'T SHE SO CUTE?!

Here's what the T-shirt looks like:

Shirts are $20 ea and you can order by clicking the PayPal button at the top right of this blog OR by mailing me the payment.

I want to thank all of you ahead of time for all of your support! 

Once everyone receives their shirts, I would LOVE to see pics of y'all wearing them so that I can show Ann-Jolie; it would be cool for her to see all of the people who cared about her. Don't you?

Pass the word and order your shirt today!

:D
